About this Item

Alain Graillot
The Graillot Project Syrah, Heathcote, 2012
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Domaine Alain Graillot is a top wine producer located in Crozes-Hermitage in the northern Rhône. Alain Graillot founded the domaine in 1985, releasing his first vintage from a rented vineyard. The domaine quickly rose to prominence and only three years after its establishment, Graillot purchased the vineyards he had been renting. Now, Graillot makes a range of Syrah-based wines in Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, and Saint-Joseph.

Crozes Hermitage legend Alain Graillot and his Australian importer Robert Walters have come together to produce a special Syrah from a single vineyard in Heathcote, Victoria (Australia). In France, Alain Graillot has become famous for producing Syrah wines that have the perfume and finesse of Pinot Noir. Could he achieve the same in Australia? When Alain's imported Robert discussed with him a site he was working with, interest quickly spiraled and the Graillot Australia project was born. With an unconditional focus on quality, the second release continues the vision to create wines of intense fruit and site expression, which emphasize elegance, purity and precision.

Alain Graillot passed away earlier this year. This is a real collectors wine.
